Oh I will get my new rig in less then 3 weeks, hopefully I don't crawl into a hole and vanish for a while. now I can get done with lots of code, games or work when I am stuck on 12-16 hr shifts or at home on call. .... I think I will make a sticker called "My Precious" and label it when it comes, maybe a nice splash screen to reflect my happiness too.... been 5-7 years in the waiting and well deserved!!!

"... I've heard a number of complaints about its (in)security,..." yeah that is from those dang web examples, Or DOWN LOAD MY CODE, must display credits Written by Blah Blah. What happens that guy Blah Blah does a web search for his tag, finds all the sites, hacks his own code to get access to the Contacts, Dir file locations, and takes info. I seen it happen too many times. I always wrote my own code, Hide my security items, the only way they could get to them is the server down to the account if they could. I was never fond off cut and paste code that revealed database locations and stuff. .... Oh that Bluefish I on't like to much at all, you FTP you need to do special code to open a site on the server your at?? Komposer is old, I am still trying to set the third PC up with apache, xammp, php, sql, this way I can build live on the fly, then attack it and if happy upload it to the web. But it is slow and droollllling.

Glad you got to help your mom out for awhile. I layout my game plan to move everything over to Linux. Converting all my website(s) ASP code to PHP, went from Frontpage trying to get bluefish to install correctly, Downloading Cross platform Mobile SDK to create apps on (make site games or utility apps hopefully). I reverted both PC to Cinna 17, Use one to install and test if I like it, if so I install it on my PC. Looking at some BASH stuff too got enough to chew on at the moment. Well what it is worth this article was an interesting read today. http://firstbiz.firstpost.com/corpor...nce-93251.html In ways so has much ground and influence windows is losing as a must have and can not be done without PC.

Hmmm Cinnamon gave me US-uft8 install errors not only with pci drivers. Seem I think it was so like wait to fit on a 2 gb thumb something might have gotton over looked to draw people in. and response is a bit slow. I am going to try Mate and KDE instead and see if that installed better. Wow a week of Linux and got past the tip of the iceberg now to do some damage

the Linux mint forums are pretty neat, I been there all day
Q. So you are not running Linux for awhile? I was able to get a few WIN games installed under WINE.
Next will be working those the other XP PCs, a firewall and then I will move into C++ and development and some PHP also.

Ok a to spare your profile the burden I will start a Linux and xtu thread in the future for those Xp users searching es and here for fixes. There's plenty of need. Then with all the modeler software out there for mint Linux everyone in wine could be on the same sort of page if they choose...... Never mind ES has good threads for it

Agreed! Yeah I started putting 2 & 2 together. Wow thinking how tux questions which patches and upgrades work with which systems. Linux can be a challenge in itself. So wine does replace win4lin as a virtual box or VMware. Just don't pay attention to the details of old versions on YouTube. I am looking into how well tux installs on the new Linux mint 17. I need to fix an old dell with niv card to take with me on the road.

Now I feel really stupid, so much for following help tutorials on Mint 13 or 15 or 16 since 17 forums is having issues.
All those videos show old versions.
WINE open C: and you MUST run the exe from inside the WINE window. NOT by opening cd menu and clicking on install exe and run with WINE.
Two games loaded SIM city and now doing Bliztkrieg sorry for picking your brain like that
They really need to have better tutorials and the Noobs need to let the Linux people do there job, all those vids of help stuff and in them they say :I am new to this too: LOL

I am going to give VirtualBox non free and free a try. They are located in the Mint software download tabs. .... nothing

Futzing around with SSI.exe it is installing under wine now I think???.... results..... No good, I am calling it a day, I will look into SSI.exe install rather then the actual Install.exe. Seems the SSI install more like dos with extracting files to the linux while the WIN got hung up. The cd extracted to the HD now, my head hurts bad. I will just chat on chat box till I go to bed if others pop in, need to watch TV now
